Bacon wrapped anything is my favorite. Really. Bacon wrapped shrimp, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, bacon wrapped sausage with water chestnuts...the list goes on. So how about we have ourselves some bacon wrapped artichoke hearts? Yes? Yes.
Pretty simple here...just wrap your artichoke hearts in some bacon, 1 artichoke heart per half slice of bacon.
Cook at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until bacon is nice and golden and crispy crispaayyy.
The best part of this is surprisingly the dipping sauce. Actually it's the bacon. Who am I kidding. Seriously though, the dipping sauce is AMAZING. We were dipping everything into this stuff.

What do you like to wrap in bacon? Stay hungry!
Quick question - did you use the marinated artichokes in olive oil or the plain ones in the can?
